Saturday

There is a reason the Bitches make La Tomate a go-to for not only brunch, but lunch and dinner too. The Italian Dupont eatery is marking their 28th year of turning out delicious fare . The birthday doesn’t happen until September 18th, but they are thanking their dedicated diners with a three-course dinner special menu featuring a choice of salad or soup, a choice of three entrees, and a dessert for $28 starting now. A glass of wine can be substituted for a starter or a dessert. La Tomate, 1701 Connecticut Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C.

Sunday

There is no better way to wind down your weekend than with spending Sunday at brunch. We’ve recently savored bites at The Pig, Chaplin, and El Rey. See what we thought in our reviews and bitch about the bites yourselves this weekend.
